You must already have a suitable bootloader running on hda in order to be able to boot your current distro. I'm suggesting you install the bootloader to the root partition for your NEW distro, then chainload that from your current bootloader. It means you don't have to disturb your existing boot setup, so you shouldn't have any problems. -- Neil Bothwick We shall shortly be landing. Please return your stewardess to the upright position.
